REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER
The device can only work when the ignition key is at MAR.
Turn the knurled ring to
'
to operate the rear window
wiper.
With the windscreen wiper on, turn the knurled ring to
'
to turn on the rear window wiper. In this case the wiper
works (in the different positions) timed with the wind-
screen wiper, but at half speed.
With the windscreen wiper on, engaging reverse gear will
automatically turn the rear window wiper on, in continu-
ous slow operation.
Operation stops by disengaging reverse.
“Smart washing” function
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard (spring-return
position) will activate the rear window washer.
Keep the stalk pressed, with just one movement, to op-
erate the rear window washer jet and the rear window
wiper itself; the latter automatically turns on if you keep
the stalk pressed for more than half a second.
The rear window wiper stops operating a few strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning stroke”, after
a few seconds, completes the wiping operation.
Do not use the rear window wiper to re-
move layers of snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In these conditions, the rear window
wipers may be submitted to excessive effort result-
ing in motor protection cutting in and wiper oper-
ation inhibition for a few seconds. If the operation
is not restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.
